ANNOUNCEMENT. 





Tuis Hand-book represents in the selection of colleges the maximum and minimum 
requirements for admission to any meritorious college in the United States, - 

In the selection of institutions, the aim has been, not to imply that those excluded do 
not rank equally high with many here mentioned, but to represent the different sections of 
the country, the leading denominational colleges, and a few of the most important State 
universities of the West. 

An average of the requirements to enter the colleges represented in the book will 
admit a student to the Freshman class of any college or university not named—so that 
it becomes a chart of universal application to the colleges of the United States. 

A thorough knowledge of the Latin and Greek Grammar, including prosody, is required 
to enter the classical course of any good college, and marked proficiency in the eommon 
English branches—especially grammar or language—is insisted upon for entrance to both 
classical and scientific courses. In addition to the two general courses, classical and 
scientific, most of the colleges have a Latin scientific course, for entrance to which French 
or German is substituted for Greek. The State universities and many of the others have, 
also, courses in Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, and in Architecture and Design. 

Most of the colleges now furnish, in the last two years of the classical and scientific 
courses, a wide range of polytechnic studies, from which students may generally select. 
Requirements for admission to any of the courses except classical, are generally the same 
as for admission to the scientific course. 

A complete list of the colleges and universities of the United States is given, with 
miscellaneous addenda which will be of interest to all the patrons and friends of higher 
education. 





INTRODUCTION. 





SEVERAL motives suggested the compilation of this little book. When student: 
wisely conclude to make a college education their ambition and aim, they very natu 
rally send for one or a dozen college catalogues, to ascertain their requirements an¢ 
other information which will enable them to decide what college to enter; but the grea 
mass of facts which these catalogues contain often tends to confuse the mind, and t 
render of little avail the trouble occasioned and expense incurred. 

To obviate these difficulties, to present a concise and yet authentic table of require 
ments for admission to the leading colleges of the United States, and to give other in 
formation which will be of value and interest to all the students of our secondary schools 
has been one purpose in the preparation of this hand-book. 

The arrangement in parallel columns of the requirements for admission to the clas 
sical and scientific courses of the forty-four colleges mentioned will, we hope, furnish : 
convenient chart for reference and comparison. 

These facts have been gathered with great care from the latest catalogues and cir 
culars of these institutions ; and where these facts have been in any way involved o 
deficient, correspondence has been elicited from the college presidents, who have invari 
ably answered all inquiries, so that we feel assured that the book may be taken as a saf 
guide in determining the amount and nature of the work required in preparation. 

Catalogues of several years have been consulted ; very slight changes are made fron 
year to year; and, while the requirements are taken from the official reports of the cur 
rent year, students will find it safe to follow them for several years to come. 

Another motive has been to impress upon the minds of the pupils of secondary 
schools the absolute importance of a thorough preparation. Quality rather than quan 
tity is the pressing demand of all the colleges ; and, while pupils are expected to read al 
that is required in the classics, and to acquaint themselves with all that is demanded i 
mathematics and English, conditions and rejections are based upon poor quality rathe 
than insufficient quantity in preparation. 

Incompetency in instruction and the haste which makes waste so common amon; 
students are deplorably conspicuous in our preparatory schools, and we would reiterat 
the thought that, if students would render the instruction and opportunities of thei 
college life profitable and pleasant, they will leave no means unemployed to secure th 


8 INTRODUCTION, 


best instruction in their preparatory work, even if they add a year to their preparation, 
or neglect some portion of the amount required. We have appended the questions 
which were used at the entrance examination for the current year at Yale, Bowdoin, 
Dartmouth, and Boston University. They present a fair outline of what is required by 
all the colleges, and may be studied to advantage by preparatory pupils. : 

We have purposely omitted any tabulated statement of the expenses necessarily 
incurred in obtaining a college education, for many reasons : 

First, the catalogues do not give such information on this subject as will constitute 
any adequate guide to the student ; secondly, tuition for indigent and meritorious stu- 
dents zs practically free in most of the colleges, and those who are compelled to pay 
are generally sufficiently able not to make this an item in their decision ; thirdly, the 
disposition of the student and the restrained or loose indulgence of parents are the 
real factors which enter into a proper computation of the economical or extravagant 
expenditures of college life. 

The cost of books and the price of board are the real items of college expense, and 
these do not differ materially in any of the best colleges. Any student can honorably 
and comfortably take a four years’ course away from home, at an annual expense, coy- 
ering all essential items, of four hundred dollars. Many can and do curtail their ex- 
penses within much narrower limits, and it ought to cost no one, in any college, who 
would profit by the advantages offered, more than six hundred dollars a year. 

The statistics regarding the “ Enumeration of Students,” “ Latin Pronunciation in 
Use,” “ Harvard Examinations for Women,” indeed all the statistics, have been arranged 
with great care and scrupulous accuracy. 

In presenting this book to the public, the compiler would render his grateful ac- 
knowledgments to the college presidents, Latin professors, and to all the officers con- 
sulted, for their generous promptness and repeated courtesies in answering letters, in 
furnishing statistics, and in rendering every facility to aid in making the book, what we 
hope it may prove, of interest and value to the teachers and students of all our second- 
ary schools. -

CLASSIFICATION OF UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN 


This classification, in general, gives the number of pupils in attendance during the 
present college year of 1878~79, although the statistics of a few colleges are from the 
Catalogues of one of the two previous years. It has been difficult in all cases to separate 
the students of the classical from those of the scientific and technical courses ; but, as these 
statistics are of special interest in view of the “new education” theory, great care has been 
taken to make them authentic, and in nearly all cases where the catalogues have failed to 
draw the lines of distinction the compiler has obtained the facts from direct correspondence

FACTS FROM THE ENUMERATION OF STUDENTS. 





As a result of the increasing interest in the study of the sciences, and the desire 
on the part of colleges to have their courses suited to the individual taste and talent 
of students, many and important changes have been made in the courses of study. 
Some of the colleges, without encroaching upon the time-honored classics, have extended 
their curricula, thereby encouraging students to pursue post-graduate studies, as special- 
ties ; others have partially eliminated the Greek, to make room for the sciences ; others 
still have substituted French or German for Greek in a so-called Latin-scientific course, 
and a few have abandoned distinct arbitrary courses entirely, and extended to students 
the privilege of electing their studies throughout the college curriculum. 

To show how far these changes have affected the study of the classics—i. e., Latin 
and Greek—in different sections of the country, we present the following from the fore- 
going statistics : 

In the thirteen colleges of the New England States, out of a total of 3,434 stu- 
dents in college departments, 2,568, or nearly seventy-five per cent., are in the clas- 
sical course. 

In the nine colleges of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, out of a total of 
2,368 in college department, 1,302, or nearly fifty-four per cent., are in the classical 
course. 

In the sixteen colleges west and south of Pennsylvania, out of a total of 2,941 in 
college department, 1,259, or less than forty-three per cent., are in the classical course. 

These facts show that the students, in the colleges of the Western States particularly, 
are inclined to pursue the sciences and the modern languages, especially German, in the 
place of the Greek, while three fourths of all the students in the New England colleges 
still adhere to the study of the Greek. 

In the colleges which admit both sexes, out of a total of 3,776 in the college depart- 
ment, 891, or nearly twenty-four per cent., are ladies. Of the 891 ladies in these col- 
leges, 274, or nearly thirty-one per cent., are in the classical course ; 492, or fifty-five 
per cent., are in the scientific or technical courses ; 135 in the Medical Department ; 
four in the Law Department; and three in the Theological Department; seven are 
in post-graduate courses, which is eleven per cent. of all in this department, and the 
remainder are pursuing studies in college departments, but not in regular courses. In 
the thirty-nine colleges, whose summary of students is given, there are more than 
16,700 students, of whom 2,400 are in preparatory departments; 9,487 in the college 
department proper; 2,304 are pursuing the study of medicine; 1,840 the law; 456 
theology ; while 317 are in post-graduate courses. Of the entire number, 2,053 are 
ladies. .

ANCIENT HISTORY AND CLASSICAL GEOGRAPHY. 


Tue college catalogues are largely indefinite in their statements of requirements for 
admission in these important branches, and, as a result, preparatory schools do not gen- 
erally teach them with sufficient care and exactness, and students, on entering college, 
often find themselves sadly deficient in the systematic knowledge of the historical 
events and the geography of the classics which they have read. 

All pupils in classics should provide themselves with a Classical Atlas (Appletons’ 
or Long’s) ; with a Classical Dictionary (Smith’s or Anthon’s) ; with a Dictionary of 
Antiquities (Anthon’s) ; with Smith’s History of Greece, Smith’s, Merivale’s, or Lid- 
dell’s History of Rome, or equivalent books, and with Baird’s Classical Manual. Let 
the study in these subjects be systematic and thorough, and students will find that 
the knowledge gained and the discipline secured, even though it may add a year to 
their preparatory work, will amply repay for the expense incurred and the time em- 
ployed. 

We therefore give on this page a more detailed account of the exact require- 
ments of some of the universities, and earnestly recommend all students preparing for 
college to secure competent instruction in at least an average of what these several 
colleges require. 


HARVARD UNIVERSITY 


requires “Greek History to the death of Alexander ; Roman History to the death of 
Commodus. Smith’s smaller histories of Greece and Rome will serve to indicate the 
amount of knowledge demanded.” 


MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY ‘ 


requires “In Grecian History the first three books of Smith’s History of Greece, exclu- 
sive of the chapters on Literature and Art; an outline of Roman History from the 
foundation of the city to the battle of Actium.” The university requires in Ancient 
Geography that particularly of Italy, Greece, and Asia Minor. Appletons’ Hand-book 
or Atlas of Ancient Geography is undoubtedly the best; Long’s Classical Atlas is 
also excellent. 

CORNELL UNIVERSITY 


requires “Smith’s smaller history of Greece.” 


BOSTON UNIVERSITY 


requires “History of Greece till its conquest by the Romans; History of Rome to 
Constantine. Smith’s Manuals will suffice.” Ancient Geography, “sufficient to illus- 
trate all the authors read.” 


SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY 


requires “ Merivale’s History of Rome, first twenty-five chapters; Smith’s larger His- 


tory of Greece, the first fourteen chapters. Ancient Geography, particularly that of 
Italy, Greece, and Asia Minor.” Appletons’ Hand-book or Atlas will suffice.

CLASSIFICATION OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN REFERENCE 
TO THE LATIN PRONUNCIATION IN USE OR PREFERRED. 





Tue recent philological researches and discussions on the subject of Latin pronuncia- 
tion have quite revolutionized the methods of pronunciation in the colleges and universities 
of our own country, and it becomes a matter of great interest and importance to the high 
schools and all college preparatory institutions which method prevails among the best 
classical scholars. It is not ours to judge, but we present below carefully-prepared statis- 
tics, tabulated from correspondence with the presidents or Latin professors in all these 
institutions. While it is true that no college refuses admission to a candidate who may be 
proficient in either the English, Roman, or so-called Continental pronunciation, it is never- 
theless a lamentable fact that pupils applying for admission to colleges are rarely profi- 
cient in any particular method. The English and Roman methods are peculiarly distinct, 
and one or the other should be chosen and thoroughly taught. It will be noticed as a fact 
of interest that the two oldest colleges of New England differ in their preference: Harvard 
chooses the Roman, and Yale the English.

Nore.—Excluding the two which seem to vibrate between the English, Roman, and Continental, or do not express a decided prefer- 
ence for either, we have twenty-two which use or prefer the Roman, eighteen the English, and one the Continental. All the Roman 


Catholic Institutions use the Continental. 


44 Continental. 


ROMAN PRONUNCIATION. 


Harvarp, Cornell (New York), and Michigan State Universities are, perhaps, the most 
prominent colleges which take the lead in earnestly recommending the adoption of this 


method, and we therefore give the scheme in detail as promulgated by these institutions, 


in their latest circulars. 


These schemes are essentially the same, and do not materially differ from the method 


as found in the latest revised edition of Harkness’s Latin Grammar, which also contains 
the fullest description of the English method, adhered to by many of the best univer- 


sities in our country. 


SCHEME OF MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY. 


Roman Pronvnoration or Latin.—This uni- 
versity has adopted the following system of pro- 
nunciation, based upon the investigations of Cors- 
sen and other eminent philologists, and now em- 
ployed in its essential features in the universities 
and leading schools of England and many insti- 
tutions of this country, as being proved beyond 
question a close approximation to the Roman pro- 
nunciation in the time of Cicero. 


VOWELS. 


@ as in father, é as in amend, or in quaff’ (not 
as in hat); é as in they, é as in met; 7 as in ma- 
chine, 4 as in pity ; 6 as in go, 6 as in- police (not 
as in cot); Zas 00 in too, % as in pull (not as in 
but); y as i. 

DIPHTHONGS. 


In pronouncing the diphthongs the sound of 
both vowels is preserved. 

ae as the word ay ; au as ow in power ; 0¢ as 
oi in oil ; ew nearly like u in use ; win ua, ue, ete., 
like w; ei as in rein. 


CONSONANTS, 


e always as in can; ch as k; g always as in 
gun; j always as y in young; 8 always as in sin; 
¢ always as in tin; o either as Fr. ow in oui, or 
like Eng. o. 





SCHEME OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY. . 


To answer numerous inquiries in regard to the 
system of pronouncing Latin now adopted in this 
university, a statement of its essential deviations 
from the “English method” is herewith given. 
The system is, in no proper sense, “new”: it is 
rather the result of investigations independently 
carried on in different countries and ages to ascer- 
tain how the Romans spoke their language at the 
period of its greatest purity. 


VOWELS. 


Each vowel had, in general, a single element- 
ary sound. Though position somewhat modified 
the quality of this sound, yet the only important 
vocal distinction between “long” and “short” 
vowels was that of quantity. The following are 
approximate English equivalents of these vowel- 
sounds: 

@ as in father, & as in dogma ; é as in they, é as 
in valley ; 4 as in machine, ¢ as in unity; 6 as in 
pole, 6 as in police ; % as in rude, % as in put. 


DIPHTHONGS. 


In pronouncing the diphthongs, each element 
should have its own individual sound. But, as 
these two sounds are made with a single- emission 
of breath, the practical analogies in English are 
these: . 

ae (or ai) as ai in aisle ; au as ow in house ; oe 





ROMAN PRONUNCIATION, 37 


(or 0i) as o¢ in oi2 ; eé as et in vein; eu as ew in 
feud ; ui as ui in suite. 


SEMI-VOWEL. 


j woiformly like y ; o uniformly like w. 


CONSONANTS, 


e always like &; g always like g in get; s al- 
ways like s in sit ; ¢ always like ¢ in tll. 


SYLLABIOATION, 


A single consonant between vowels should be 
joined in pronunciation to the latter. Two or 
more consonants preceding a vowel should be ut- 
tered with that vowel, if the combined consonants 


begin a Latin (or Greek) word. In compound 


words, however, the component parts should be 


pronounced separately. 

The above scheme is not claimed to be the ex- 
act Roman orthoépy—the nature of the case must 
always preclude such absolute knowledge; it is, 





however, claimed to be so near an approach to 
the ancient pronunciation that there is full justi- 
fication for the growing tendency to substitute its 
main features for the ‘‘ English method ” of speak- 
ing Latin—a method which came into being in 
quite modern times, which is so full of obvious 
defects that it satisfies few Latinists in England or 
America, and is an object of amazement and ridi- 
cule to classical scholars in other countries. 


Tracy Peck, 
Professor of Latin, Cornell University, 
Ithaca, New York. 


SCHEME OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY. 


In Latin, the following pronunciation is recom- 
mended: @ as in father, d the same sound, but 
shorter; é@ like é in féte, é as in set 37 as in ma- 
chine, 7 as in sit; 6 as in hole, 6 as in nor; @ as 
in rude, % as in put ; 7 like y in year, c and g like 
Greek « and y. 


Note.—In the so-called Continental method of pronunciation, the sounds of the vowels do not greatly differ from those of the 
Roman, but there is no fixed law for the sounds of the consonants, especially c, g, 7, 7; each continental nation yields to the analogies 
of its own language—for example, the French pronounce Cicero, Seesayro; the Germans, 7seetsayro; the Italians, Cheechayro; the 


Spaniards, Theethayro.

of the Methodist Church (so far as we have enumerated them), admit both sexes.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITIES AND 
COLLEGES IN THE UNITED STATES. 


Tue forty-four colleges whose specific requirements for admission have been given, 
fairly represent all the universities and colleges of the country. We give below an 
average of these requirements, a thorough preparation in which will, we believe, admit 
a student to any of the institutions whose specific requirements are not stated. 


I. CLASSICAL COURSE. 


LATIN. 

Four books of Cesar (Harkness’s edition recommended) ; six books of Virgil’s Aineid 
(Frieze’s or Bryce’s recommended) ; eight orations of Cicero, including the Manilian 
Law (Harkness’s recommended); the first two parts of Harkness’s Latin Prose Com- 
position, or forty-four exercises in Arnold’s or an equivalent, with a thorough knowl- 
edge of the Latin Grammar, including Prosody (Harkness’s recommended). 


GREEK. 


Xenophon’s Anabasis, three books (Boise’s recommended); two books of Homer’s 
Iliad (Boise’s recommended), omitting Catalogue of Ships, Book II.; simple exercises 
in Greek Prose Composition, with accents, as may be found in the first lessons of 
Arnold’s, Boise’s, or Jones’s Greek Prose, with a thorough knowledge of the Greek 
Grammar (Hadley’s or Goodwin’s recommended). 


MATHEMATICS. , 

Arithmetic, including Metric System; Algebra to Quadratics (Loomis’s or Olney’s 
recommended) ; Plane Geometry (Loomis, Olney, Wentworth, or Chauvenet). ; 
ANCIENT HISTORY AND CLASSICAL GEOGRAPHY. 

History as found in Smith’s smaller histories of Greece and Rome. Classical Geog- 
raphy should be studied from such a book as Appletons’ Hand-book, or Long’s. 
COMMON ENGLISH. 


A thorough knowledge of English Grammar, with such proficiency in the ele- 
ments of Rhetoric as will enable the student to spell, punctuate, and paragraph cor- 
rectly; United States History, Political and Mathematical Geography, with elements 


of Physical Geography. 


Il SCIENTIFIC COURSE. 


To enter the Scientific courses, a student should have an elementary knowledge of 
Natural Philosophy, or Botany, or Chemistry; the Science Primers will indicate the 
amount. The same proficiency in Mathematics as mentioned above, with Algebra 
through Quadratics, and French and German instead of Latin and Greek, or Latin, 
with French or German, instead of Greek.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY EXAMINATION FOR WOMEN. 


Aurnoucu Harvard University has not opened its doors to women, for class recitation 
and regular matriculation, it has, nevertheless, following the examples of the English uni- 
versities, practically expressed its entire accord with the increasing sentiment in favor of the 
higher education of women, by establishing a system of examinations, under the supervision 
of its faculty, the details of which, since they are not generally understood, especially 
among young lady students, we give below, taken from the circular for 1879. 


These examinations were held for the first 
time in 1874, in Boston. The sixth examination 
will be held simultaneously in Cambridge, New 
York, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati, beginning at 
some date between May 27 and June 5, 1879, and 
will be of two grades: 1. A general or prelimi- 
nary examination for young women who are not 
less than seventeen years old; 2. An advanced 
examination for those who have passed the pre- 
liminary examination, and are not less than eigh- 
teen years old. 


I. PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION. 


The Preliminary Examination embraces the 
following subjects: English, Physical Geography, 
either Elementary Botany or Elementary Physics, 
Arithmetic, Algebra through quadratic equations, 
Plane Geometry, History, and any two of the 
four languages—French, German, Latin, and 
Greek—at least one of the two chosen being a 
modern language. 

This examination can be taken as a whole only 
by young women who are at least seventeen years 
old. It may, however, at the option of the can- 
didate, be divided between two years; and, in 
this case, the minimum age of admission is sixteen 
years. No candidate will, in any case, be admit- 
ted to examination on a part of any subject; and 
no account will be made of a partial examination, 
unless the candidate has passed satisfactorily in at 
least three subjects. If the candidate passes in 
three or more subjects, the results of the partial 
examination will be recorded by the university ; 
but no certificate will be given until the whole ex- 
amination has been passed. Candidates who divide 
the Preliminary Examination will be expected to 
attain a somewhat higher degree of excellence 
than those who present the nine subjects at once. 


ENGLISH. 


Candidates will be examined upon the history 
of English literature, and be required to write a 





short composition upon a subject to be given out 
at the time of examination. 

In 1879, the subject will be Shakespeare’s 
Hamlet and Midsummer-Night’s Dream, as edited 
for the Clarendon Press series by William Aldis 
Wright. 

In 1880, Macbeth and Henry V. Candidates 
should consult A bbott’s “ Shakesperian Grammar” 
and be able to give a succinct account of the life 
and works of Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Ba- 
con, Herbert, Herrick, Milton, Bunyan, Dryden, 
Addison, Defoe, Pope, Gray, Goldsmith, Johnson, 
Burke, Burns, Cowper, Jane Austen, Shelley, By- 
ron, Scott, Coleridge, Maria Edgeworth, Words- 
worth. 

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY. 

A good knowledge of the ordinary school-books 
on this subject should be secured. Candidates may 
also use to advantage Guyot’s “‘ Earth and Man,” 
Ritter’s “‘ Comparative Geography,” and other 
similar books. 


ELEMENTARY PHYSIOS. 


Balfour Stewart’s “‘ Elementary Physics,” Ga- 
not’s “ Elements,”’ may be used for reference, 


BOTANY. 

Gray’s “School and Field Botany” and ‘* How 
Plants Behave.” Each candidate will be required 
to submit a list of fifty species, of different gen- 
era, which she has studied and determined, and 
also to fill up three schedules with a description 
of three plants accompanying the schedules. 


MATHEMATICS. 
Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry, entire. 


HISTORY. ' 
History of England as far as the year 1689. 
Such books as Bright’s “History of England” 
(first two volumes) and Green’s ‘History of the 


— 








_ EXAMINATIONS FOR WOMEN. 49 


English people” will be of value for reading and 


study; a familiarity with Geography and Chro- 


nology is indispensable. 


FRENCH. 


The candidate must be able to read French 
fluently and with a fair pronunciation. Knapp’s 
or Fasquelle’s or Otto’s French Grammar will 
serve to indicate the grammatical knowledge de- 
manded. No books are prescribed ; but those enu- 
merated below will be sufficient to show the vo- 
cabulary and character of the French which can- 
didates should be able to read. 

1. Voltaire, “‘ Charles XII.” 2. George Sand, 
“La famillede Germandre.” 3. Alfred de Vigny, 
“ Ging Mars.”’ 4. Sandeau, “ Mile. de la Seigliére ” 
(comedy). 5. Moliére, “Le Misanthrope.” 6. 
Racine, “ Athalie.” 


GERMAN. 


Candidates will be expected to pronounce the 
language with reasonable correctness. No books 
are prescribed ; but all are advised to read the 
following: the introduction to Dr. Buchheim’s 
* Deutsche Lyrik,” together with some of the 
poems in the work itself, and also these : 

Zschokke: Der zerbrochene Krug; Das Wirths- 
haus zu Oransac. 

Gerstiicker ; Germelshausen. 

Paul Heyse: La Rabbiata; Die Blinden. 

Theodore Migge: Signa die Seterin. 

Adelbert Stifter: Brigitta. 

Schiller: Wilhelm Tell. 

Lessing: Minna van Barnhelm. 

Goethe: Hermann und Dorothea. 


LATIN. 


Candidates will be examined upon 

1. Latin Grammar and Writing Latin. 

2. Caesar, first three books: Nepos, Lives of 
Miltiades, Themistocles, Aristides, “so gispeg: Epa- 
minondas, Hannibal. 

3. The first three books of Virgil’s Aeneid. 

Ability to read Latin as Latin with accuracy 
and confidence is desirable. 

In reading Latin, the aim should be not only to 
put the accent in the right place, but to give every 


_ syllable its due quantity; for instance, to sound 


mémoria in such a way that the ear may readily 
detect a succession of short syllables; to sound the 
win lie (licis) long, in dia (dicis) short; 0 long 
in consul, confido, short in contra; to let i be 
heard in infans, i in indoctus, é in déns, é in dén- 
tis, etc., ete. 

At all events, an accurate knowledge of the 
quantity of the penultimate syllable of polysyllabic 
words is indispensable. Such mispronunciations 


as arboris, 2m temporis, doléris, gladiélus, 





enimvéro, imprabus, metuéret are unpardonable. 
Care must be taken to distinguish words which 
look alike or nearly alike to the eye; and Latin 
words which have derivatives in English must 
especially be looked at with suspicion. 

The Roman pronunciation is recommended. 

Besides an acquaintance with the outlines of 
Roman History, some knowledge of Roman An- 
tiquities and of manners and customs is necessary, 
as well as an acquaintance with the leading events 
of the period in which the writer who is studied 
belongs. 


GREEK. 


Candidates will be examined : 

1, Hither (A.) in the translation at sight of easy 
passages of Xenophon (suited to the proficiency of 
those who have studied the first 111 pages of 
Goodwin’s Greek Reader), with a vocabulary of 
the less usual words; ov (B.) in the first 111 pages 
of Goodwin’s Reader and Book I. of the Iliad, with 
questions on the subject-matter, and on construc- 
tions and grammatical forms. 

2. Also, in the translation into Greek of sim- 
ple sentences, such as those in the first 51 lessons 
of White’s First Lessons in Greek, to test the can- 
didates’ practical knowledge of grammar. 

Attention to Greek History is strongly recom- 
mended. Atleast some compendium, like Smith’s 
smaller History, should be read; but all who have 
the needed time and the taste are advised to read 
the chapters of Grote which illustrate the different 
parts of their studies. 


Il. ADVANCED EXAMINATION. 


The Advanced Examination is for young women 
who have passed the Preliminary Examination, 
and who are not less than eighteen years old. It 
is divided into five sections, in one or more of 
which the candidate may present herself. These 
sections are as follows: 

1. Languages.—Candidates may offer any two 
of the following languages: English, French, Ger- 
man, Italian, Latin, Greek. 

2. Physical Science.—Candidates may offer any 
two of the following subjects: Chemistry, Physics, 
Botany, Mineralogy, Geology. 

3. Mathematics.—Candidates must present Solid 
Geometry, Algebra, Logarithms, and Plane Trig- 
onometry, and one of the three following sub- 
jects: Analytic Geometry, Mechanics, Spherical 
Trigonometry, and Astronomy. 

4. History—tIn 1879, candidates may offer 
either of the two following subjects: 1. The His- 
tory of Continental Europe during the period of 
the Reformation, 1517-1648; 2. English and 
American History from 1688 to the end of the 
eighteenth century.

EXAMINATION QUESTIONS FOR ADMISSION TO COLLEGE. 





An erroneous impression prevails among many students, that colleges do not insist 
upon all their requirements for admission ; that students may apply with a poor or half 


preparation, and still be admitted. 


To dispel this illusion, and to encourage thorough preparation, which alone renders 
college life the most fruitful in profit, interest, and pleasure, we give below some specimen 


sets of questions recently used. 


In comparison with others, they are only of average difficulty.

Caesar, Gallic War, Bk. II. ch. XXV. 


XXY. Caesar ab decimae legionis cohortatione 
ad dextrum cornu profectus, ubi suos urgeri, sig- 
nisque in unum locum conlatis, duodecimae legio- 
nis confertos milites sibi ipsos ad pugnam esse im- 
pedimento vidit,—quartae cohortis omnibus centu- 
rionibus occisis, signiferoque interfecto, signo amis- 
so, reliquarum cohortium omnibus fere centurio- 
nibus aut vulneratis aut occisis, in his primipilo P. 
Sextio Baculo, fortissimo viro, multis gravibusque 
vulneribus confecto, ut jam se sustinere non pos- 
set; reliquos esse tardiores, et nonnullos ab novis- 
simis deserto proelio excedere ac tela vitare, hostis 
neque a fronte ex inferiore loco subeuntes inter- 
mittere, et ab utroque latere instare, et rem esse 
in angusto vidit, neque ullum esse subsidium quod 
summitti posset,—scuto ab novissimis uni militi 
detracto, quod ipse eo sine scuto venerat, in pri- 
mam aciem processit; centurionibusque nomina- 
tim appellatis, reliquos cohortatus, milites signa 
inferre et manipulos laxare jussit, quo facilius gla- 
diis uti possent. Oujus adventu spe inlata militi- 
bus, ac redintegrato animo, cum pro se quisque in 
conspectu imperatoris etiam in extremis suis rebus 
operam navare cuperet, paulum hostium impetus 
tardatus est. 


Sallust, Catilina, ch. XII. 


XII. Postquam divitiae honori esse coepere, et 
eas gloria, imperium, potentia sequebatur, hebes- 
cere virtus, paupertas probro haberi, innocentia 
pro malivolentia duci coepit. Igitur ex divitiis 
luventutem luxuria atque avaritia cum superbia 
invasere; rapere, consumere, sua parvi pendere, 
aliena cupere, pudorem, pudicitiam, divina atque 
humana promiscua, nihil pensi neque moderati 
habere. Operae pretium est, quam domos atque 
villas cognoveris in urbium modum exaedificatas, 
visere templa deorum, quae nostri maiores, religio- 
sissumi mortales, fecere.. Verum illi delubra de- 
orum pietate, domos suas gloria decorabant, neque 
victis quidquam praeter iniuriae licentiam eripie- 
bant. At hi contra, ignavissumi homines, per 
summum scelus omnia ea sociis adimere, quae for- 
tissumi viri victores reliquerant; proinde quasi 
iniuriam facere id demum esset imperio uti. 


“Sallust, Iugurtha, ch. XXVIII. » 


XXVIII. At Iugurtha, contra spem nuncio ac- 
cepto, quippe cui Romae omnia venum ire in ani- 
mo haeserat, fillum et cum eo duos familiares ad 
Senatum legatos mittit, hisque ut illis, quos, Hi- 
empsale interfecto, miserat, praecepit, omnes mor- 
tales pecunia adgrediantur. Qui postquam Romam 
adventabant, Senatus a Bestia consultus est, place- 
retne legatos Iugurthae recipi moenibus ; iique de- 
crevere, nisi regnum ipsumque deditum venissent, 
uti in diebus proximis decem Italia decederent. 
Consul Numidis ex Senati decreto nunciari iubet : 
ita infectis rebus illi domum discedunt. Interim 
Calpurnius, parato exercitu, legat sibi homines

Cicero, Second Oration against Catiline, ch. VIII. 

VIL. Sed cur tamdiu de uno hoste loquimur ; 
et de eo hoste, qui jam fatetur se esse hostem; et 
quem, quia (quod semper volui) murus interest, 
non timeo; de his, qui dissimulant, qui Romae re- 
manent, qui nobiscum sunt, nihil dicimus? quos 
quidem ego, si ullo modo fieri possit, non tam 
ulcisci sfudeo, quam sanare, et ipsos placare rei- 
publicae; neque, id quare fieri non possit, si me 
audire volent, intelligo. Exponam enim vobis, 
Quirites, ex quibus generibus hominum istae co- 
piae comparentur: deinde singulis medicinam con- 
silii atque orationis meae, si quam potero, afferam. 
Unum genus est eorum, qui, magno in aere alieno, 
majores etiam possessiones habent, quarum amore 
adducti dissolvi nullo modo possunt. Horum ho- 
minum species est honestissima (sunt enim locu- 
pletes), voluntas vero et causa impudentissima. Tu 
agris, tu aedificiis, tu argento, tu familia, tu rebus 
omnibus ornatus et copiosus sis; et dubites de 
possessione detrahere, acquirere ad fidem? Quid 
enim expectas? bellum? quid? ergo in vastatione 
omnium tuas possessiones sacrosanctas futuras pu- 
tas? An tabulas novas? errant, qui istas a Cati- 
lina expectant. Meo beneficio tabulae novae pro- 
ferentur, veram auctionariae: neque enim isti, qui 
possessiones habent, alia ratione ulla salvi esse 
possunt. Quod si maturius facere voluissent, ne- 
que (id quod stultissimum est) certare cum usuris 
fructibus praediorum; et locupletioribus his et 
melioribus civibus uteremur. Sed hosce homines 
minime puto pertimescendos, quod aut deduci de 
sententia possunt; aut, si permanebunt, magis 
mihi videntur vota facturi contra rempublicam, 
quam arma laturi. ;

“Septem illum totos perhibent ex ordine menses 
Rupe sub aeria deserti ad Strymonsis undam 
Flevisse, et gelidis haec evolvisse sub antris,

Amissos queritur fetus, quos durus arator 
Observans nido implumes detraxit: at illa

HARKNESS’S SERIES OF LATIN TEXT-BOOKS. 





Tus Series has received the unqualified commendation of many cf the most eminent classical professors and teachers in 


our country, and is already in use in every State in the Union, and, 


indeed, in nearly all onr leading classical institutions of every 


de, both of school and college. Each volume has been received with a degree of enthusiasm eae in our experience 
= 


vith text-books, 


We ask the attention of teachers to these works, in the conviction that they fu 


h a better course of ele- 


mentary classical instruction than can elsewhere be found ia our language. 


FIRST COURSE. 


1. Introductory Latin Book. 

This volume, as the name implies, is introductory to 
the entire series. It is intended to be placed in the 
hands of every beginner in Latin, and aims to furnish 
him the very knowledge which he especially needs to 
enable him to start aright in bis course, All the gram- 
matical portions of the work are introduced in the exact 
form and language of the author’s Grammar, to which 
it is introductory. 


2. Grammar and New Latin Reader. 
Instead of the New Latin Reader, teachers desiring 


SECOND 
i. Grammar, New Reader. 
2. Cesar or Sallust, Grammar and Latin 
Composition. 
8. Cicero, Grammar, and Latin Composition, 
continued. 


This course is the same as the first, with the omission 
of the Introductory Latin Book, and is intended only 
for those who are compelled to limit themselves to a 
short preparatory course. Indeed, even in such cases, 
the author believes that a term or two spent on the 
Introductory Book would in the end not only promote 
accuracy of scholarship, but actually save time. 

The publication of this series of text-books has 
marked an era in the classical education of our countrv. 

The enthusiasm with which each volume has been 
received, the unqualified commendation of the series by 
eminent classical professors and teachers in this country 
and in Europe, and its introduction into nearly all our 
leading classical institutions of every grade, both of 
school and college, give us the fullest assurance that 
these works furnish a better course of elementary in- 
struction in Latin than can elsewhere be found in our 
language. 

On the list of classical teachers who have unqalifiedly 
recommended the “Grammar” are found the names of 
nearly all the Latin teachers of note in America, while 
Germany has spoken heartily in its favor. 

We have on file many hundred récommendations, 
bearing the most emphatic testimony to its scholarship 
and value in the class-room. 

The revised edition has left little to be desired in the 
way of philology. It embraces the practical results of 
the latest studies, without encumbering its pages with 
mere conjectures, which only confuse and mislead the 
student. 

Since the publication of Prof. Harkness’s Latin Series 
was commenced, other Latin Grammars have had their 
brief day, while this series has been steadily gaining in 
popularity and influence. Many of our good teachers, 
after testing some of the competing books, have come 
gladly back to Harkness’s, as the most practical and at 
the same time the most scholarly Latin course before 
the public. 

It is used in over three hundred colleges, and in 
more than two thousand private, preparatory, and high 
schools, 


Harkness’s Introductory Latin Book. 
This work is intended to furnish the pupil his first 

lessons in Latin, thus taking the place of the author’s 

First Latin Book, published twenty-five years ago, It

able proficiency in the Latin language and literature. 


COURSE. 


is at orfce an Elementary Drill-Book on the inflections 
and principles of the Janguage, and an Introduction to 
the author’s Grammar, Reader, and Latin Composition. 
It comprises a distinct outline of Latin Grammar, Exer- 
cises for Double Translation, Suggestions to the Learner, 
Notes, and Vocabularies. 

As an Elementary Drill-Book, it aims to supply a 
want long felt in our schools, to lighten the burden of 
the teacher in elementary drill, and to aid him in intro- 
ducing his pupils to a thorough and practical knowledge 
of the elements of the language. 

As an Jniroduction to the author’s Grammar, Reader, 
and Latin Composition, it discusses and illustrates pre- 
cisely those points which are deemed most essential as 
a preparation for the course of study presented in those 
works, 

The great objection to most First Latin Books, that 
they fill the mewory of the pupil with rules and state- 
ments which must, as far as possible, be unlearned as 
soon as he passes to his Grammar, is entirely obviated 
in this volume, as all the grammatical portions of it, 
even to the numbering of the articles, are introduced in 
the exact form and language of the author’s Grammar. 


A Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges. By 
A. Harkness, Ph. D., LL. D., Professor in Brown 
University. 


The subject of Latin Grammar is here presented in 
a form at once simple, attractive, and philosophical. To 
explain the general plan of the work, the publishers ask 
the attention of teachers to the following extracts from 


the Preface: 


1. This volume is designed to present a systematic 
arrangement of the great facts and laws of the Latin 
language; to exhibit not only grammatical forms and 
constructions, but also those vital principles which un- 
derlie, control, and explain them. 

2. Designed at once as a text-book for the class- 
room, and a book of reference in study, it aims to in- 
troduce the beginner easily and pleasantly to the first 
principles of the language, and yet to make adequate 
provision for the wants of the more advanced student. 

3. By brevity and conciseness in the choice of phrase- 
ology, and compactness in the arrangement of forms and 
topics, the author has endeavored to compress within 
the limits of a convenient manual an amount of carefully- 
selected grammatical facts which would otherwise fill a 
much larger volume. 

4. He has, moreover, endeavored to present the 
whole subject in the light of modern scholarship. With- 
out encumbering his pages with any unnecessary diseus- 


eee a! ee 


sions, he has aimed to enrich them with the practical 
results of the recent labors in the field of philology. 

5. Syntax has received in every part special atten- 
tion. An attempt has been made to exhibit, as clearly 
as possible, that beautiful system of laws which the 
genius of the language—that highest of all grammatical 
authority—has created for itself. 

6. Topics which require extended illustration are 
first presented in their completeness in general outline, 
before the separate points are discussed in detail. Thus 
a single page often foreshadows all the leading features 
of an extended discussion, imparting a completeness and 
vividness to the impressions of the learner, impossible 
under any other treatment. 

7. Special care has been taken to explain and illus- 
trate with the requisite fullness all difficult and intricate 
subjects. The Subjunctive Mood—that severest trial of 
the teacher’s patience—has been presented, it is hoped, 
in a form at once simple and comprehensive. 

For the information of teachers, the publishers would 
add that their editions of the Latin Classics are fur- 
nished with special references to this Grammar, 


Harkness’s New Latin Reader. 


The New Latin Reader now offered to the public is 
designed to furnish the learner a short, easy, and pro- 
gressive introduction to reading and writing Latin. It 
is at once a Latin Reader and an Exercise Book in Latin 
Composition, and aims to furnish the pupil in a single 
volume a sufficient companion to the Latin Grammar. 
It comprises Reading Lessons, Exercises in writing 
Latin, Suggestions to the Learner, Notes, a Latin-English 
and an English-Latin Vocabulary. 

Part First presents a progressive series of exercises 
illustrative of grammatical forms, inflections, and rules. 
These exercises are intended to accompany the learner 
from the very outset in his progress through the Gram- 
mar, and thus to furnish him the constant luxury of 
using the knowledge which he is acquiring. The Latin 
has been carefully selected from classical authors. 

Part Second illustrates connected discourse, and 
comprises Fables, Anecdotes, and History. Exercises 
in writing Latin are inserted at convenient intervals. 

The Suggestions to the Learner are intended to 
direct the unskillful efforts of the beginner, and thus 
enable him to do for himself much which would other- 
wise require the aid of his teacher. They aim to point 
out to him the process by which he may most readily 
and surely reach the meaning and the structure of a 
Latin sentence, and then to teach him to embody that 
meaning in a clear, idiomatic English. Experience has 
abundantly shown the need of such directions. The 
beginner’s first efforts to solve the problem presented by 
a Latin sentence are too often little better than a series 
of unsuccessful conjectures, while his first translations 
are purely mechanical renderings, with little regard either 
to the thought of his author or to the proprieties of his 
mother-tongue. 

The Latin Reader, being intended for use with the 
Latin Composition, omits the exercises in writing Latin, 
and gives a more extended drill on the principles of the 
Grammar. 


Harkness’s Practical Introduction to Latin | 


Composition. 


This volume is intended to aid the classical student 
in acquiring a practical acquaintance with the difficult 
but important subject of Latin composition. It aims 
to be at once simple, progressive, and complete. Start- 
ing with the beginner as soon as he has learned a few 
grammatical forms, it conducts him step by step through 
a progressive series of lessons and exercises, until he is 
so far master, both of the theory and of the practice of 
the subject, that he no longer needs the aid of a special 
text-book. 

The work consists of three parts, of which Part First 
is purely elementary, and is intended as a companion to 
the Reader. 

Part Second furnishes the learner instruction and 





practice in Latin composition throughout the subsequert 
stages of his preparatory course for college. 

Part Third, intended for the earlier portion of a col- 
legiate course of study, aims to introduce the student 
to a practical acquaintance with the elements of Latin 
style. : 
A series of Models, selected from the writings of 
Cicero, the great master of Latin style, extends through 
the entire work. 

Special attention has been given to the important 
subject of Synonyms and Idioms. 


Ceesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War, 
with Explanatory Notes, a Copious Dictionary, and 
a Map of Gaul. By A. Harkness, Ph. D., LL.D. 


This edition of Caesar, intended to follow the Latin 
Reader, aims to introduce the student to an appreciative 
study of Latin authors, The text is the result of a care- 
ful collation of the several editions most approved by 
European scholars. The notes are intended to guide 
the faithful efforts of the student, and to prepare him 
for that course of direct instruction and illustration 
which belongs exclusively to the teacher. They aim to 
furnish such collateral information as will enable the 
learner to understand and appreciate the stirring events 
recordeé in the Commentaries, and such special aid as 
will enable him to surmount real and untried difficulties 
of construction and idiom. 

The volume also contains plans of battles, a copious 
dictionary, a map of Gaul, and a brief life of Cesar. 


Harkness’s Sallust’s Catiline. 


As a part of a regular course of Latin study, this 
edition of Sallust’s Catiline is intended to follow Czsar’s 
Commentaries on the Gallic War, but to precede the 
Orations of Cicero. The notes are not intended to 
interfere with that course of direct personal instruction 
which belongs exclusively to the living teacher, but 
rather to prepare the way for it. They are arranged 
topica!ly in such a manner as to keep the general scope 
of thought as constantly as possible before the mind of 
the student. 


Harkness’s Cicero’s Orations. 


This edition of Cicero’s Select Orations has been 
prepared expressly for school use. The ten orations 
which it contains are fine specimens of Roman eloquence 
in its various departments—forensic, senatorial, and 
judicial. They are arranged in the order in which, it js 
thought, they can be read to the best advantage. 

The Notes to each oration are preceded by an intro- 
duction and by an analysis of the argument. They aim 
to give the faithful student the key to all really difficult 
passages, and, at the same time, to furnish him such 
collateral information upon Roman manners and cus- 
toms, upon Roman history and life, as will enable him 
to understand, appreciate, and enjoy these masterpieces 
of Roman oratory. 


A Preparatory Course of Latin Prose Authors. 
By Apert Harkness, Ph. D., LL. D. 


This work presents in a single volume a course of 
study in Latin Prose Authors, sufficiently extended to 
meet the requirements for admission to any American 
college. It contains four books of Cesar’s Commentaries 
on the Gallic War, the whole of Sallust’s Catiline, and 
eight orations of Cicero. To the Latin text are added 
Notes, Iliustrations, and a Special Dictionary, making 
the volume comparatively complete in itself. 

“Tn the preparation of every part of the work, it 
has been the aim of the editor to make the interests 
of the student paramount to all other considerations. 
While, therefore, he has resorted freely to the rich 
stores which European learning has collected for the 
critical study of our authors, he has endeavored to 
admit into his pages only such information as may be 
made serviceable in the actual work of the class-room.” 


HARKNESS'S 


Furst Greek Book and 
Lutroductory Reader. 





Tus work is at once a Grammar, an Exercise-Book, and an Introductory Reader. 


1. As a Grammar, it presents an outline of the forms and inflections of the language, 
and a complete analytical Syntax. 


2. As an Evercise-Book, it furnishes practice in translating Greek into English, and 
English into Greek. It thus renders available at every step the pupil’s grammatical knowl- 
edge, and gives him such a practical hold upon the forms and principles of the language as 
no other course can impart. 


3. As an Introductory Reader, it furnishes the pupil sufficient practice in translating 
not only classified sentences, but also connected discourse, in the form of Fables, Anecdotes, 
and Legends, to prepare him to enter with ease and success upon the consecutive study of 
the Anabasis of Xenophon. It thus obviates the necessity of any separate Reader, and 
with the Anabasis furnishes all the reading-matter deemed essential in a course of prepara- 
tory study. 

4. The work is complete in itself, requiring no accompaniment of grammar or lexicon ; 
but, as it is abundantly furnished with references to the Grammars of Profs, Hadley, Crosby, 
and Sophocles, it may be used, at the pleasure of the instructor, alone or as a companion to 
either of those standard works.

APPLETONS’ NEW READERS. 


WE respectfully invite an examination of these books, for which we claim the following 





points of SPECIAL EXCELLENCE: 


SUPERIOR TALENT AND EXPERIENCE OF AUTHORS.—Dr. W. T. Harris is Superin- 
tendent of the Public Schools of St. Louis. He has had practical experience in all grades, and has been 
connected with these schools constantly for nearly twenty years, As a practical educator, a profound 
thinker, and able writer, he is widely known both in this country and Europe. 

Professor A. J. Rioxorr, as Superintendent of the Public Schools of Cincinnati and Cleveland, has 
had nearly or quite twenty-five years’ experience, and in his field he is not outranked by any gentleman 
in America. 

Professor Mark Barry, Instructor in Elocution in Yale College, is known throughout the Union as 
being without a peer in his profession. -Every stroke of his pen, as found in these books, betrays a 
masterly hand. 


These facts entitle these books to a very high and respectful consideration. 


UNITY OF DESIGN AND COMPLETENESS OF EXECUTION.—From the first page of the 
lowest book to the last one of the highest this feature is clearly discernible. Like an elegant and sym- 
metrical building, whose plan and specifications have been faithfully followed to the minutest details, 
this series forms one harmonious whole. I 


THE NUMBER OF BOOKS.—The series is complete in five books, with no subsidiary or super- 
numerary ones. A separate Speller is not needed, yet spelling is better taught from them than from 
any other series with their separate spellers. 


HELPS FOR TEACHERS AND PUPILS.—On every page are found suggestions that enable 
the pupil and teacher to derive from the reading lesson the most instruction and the highest culture. 
Among these is a course of Language Lessons, which gives a training in sentence-writing, correction of 
improper forms, the correct use of punctuation-marks, capitals, plurals, possessives, titles, etc., ete. In 
the Fourth and Fifth Readers are Foot Notes giving hints on the biographical, historical, scientific, and 
literary allusions and implications of the piece, such as train the pupil to master the thought contained 
in the written page. 


COURSE IN PHONICS.—The continuous and thoroughly graded course in phonics and diacritical 
marking is a distinguishing feature of the series. In the First Reader, consisting of two parts, the com- 
bined word and phonic methods are admirably developed and carefully graded. In the first fifty-two 
pages (Part I.), in connection with beautiful and child-life reading lessons, are taught the names of al/ 
the letters, the short sounds of the vowels, and the sounds of the consonants and diphthongs. In Part 
Il. are found a systematic marking of silent letters and the more easily distinguished sounds of vowels, 
and a continued drill in the sounds of consonants. Slate Exercises for training the pupil in spelling, 
writing, and the marking of vowel-sounds, are also used. In the Second Reader is a complete table of 
all the vowel and consonant sounds, with their markings according to Webster—‘t A Key to Pronuncia- 
tion.” Preceding each reading lesson the new words of that lesson are carefully marked for a spelling 
exercise. In the Third Reader the same plan is continued, with the addition, at the close of the volume, 
of columns of “ comparatively common words,” yet such as are easily misspelled—a select list of about 
five hundred words. In the Fourth and Fifth Readers, under the head of ‘‘ For Preparation,” the same 
general plan is pursued, and at the close of each a select list of about five hundred words is appended. 


INSTRUCTION IN THE ART OF READING.—This department has been prepared by Profes- 
sor Mark Barrey, of Yale College, and is far superior to that found in any other series. To his ability his 
numerous pupils in all parts of the country are giad to testify. The treatment of this department, instead 
of being thrown into the front of the book—a kind of conglomerate—is a systematic course of lessons, 
begun in the Third Reader, and, by easy gradation. is continued throughout the Fourth and Fifth Readers. 
In the Third Reader, see ‘‘ How to Read,” pages 8. 25, 42, 56, etc.; in the Fourth Reader, pages 15, 55, 
86, 105, 169, etc.; and in the Fifth, pages 15, 44, 69, 85, 209, 266, etc. This course in Elocution is alone 
worth the cost of the series. 


CHARACTER AND VARIETY OF SELECTIONS. —Among these are found many of the gems 
of the standard literature of our language. In the selection of matter a large number of original pieces 
are found in the Second and Third Readers, while the Fourth and Fifth Readers are mainly devoted to 
7 re of initiating the child into the style and peculiarities of thought and expression found in the 

est authors. : 


PICTORIAL ILLUSTRATIONS.—in this particular they are without a rival. Note the elegant and 
profuse illustrations found in the lower numbers, while the Fourth and Fifth contain each eight full-page 
cuts, printed on extra heavy paper, each aspecimen of artistic merit, and productive of a pure esthetic taste. 

VARIETY AND EXTENT OF CULTURE.—By no other series can so much be made of the 
reading lesson. In,the lower numbers, the pieces, original and selected, teach kindness, gentleness, 


obedience, love of Nature, and kindred virtues. They teach in their language-lessons, their lessons on 
letter-writing, etc., those practical things that children are early called to practice.
